I am new to this group. I looked for a "FAQ" but couldn't find one. I
have
been (and still am) a happy user of "Generations Family Tree". However,
with
all the Sierra and other "sup****t" issues, I am beginning to look for
recommendations of which software to move to. I am certain that this is
always
a "personal opinion" issues, but I did want to get as much input as
possible.
If this is answered elsewhere, please just point me to good comparisons.
If anyone wants to answer here, I am a relatively sophisticated Windows
user -
currently on XP but will probably be going to Vista sooner than later. I
keep
my machine and software current. So far, I only use normal "printers" and
haven't yet found the need to do a "wall chart" print out of any of my
charts -
but might want to have the ability to save such a chart to a file to take
to a
printer in the future.
The one thing that Generations does not sup****t and I would be a little
interested in, is the ability to enter Unicode data for names in non-Latin
alphabets. (Cyrillic and Hebrew aren't doo bad - but one of my relatives
married into a Chinese family. I have the Unicode values for their names
and I
would like to be able to enter these directly - and not just put the
information
in as comments with a transliterated name).
Finally, I would definitely want to be able to im****t the GEDCOM from my
existing Generations information.

Thanks in advance and, again, I am sorry if this information is all easily
available and I just didn't find it.
